It's that time of year again, where I have to deal with the simpleton NFL fans with their knuckle-dragging cries of the supremeness of the Super Bowl since unlike baseball there's parity and on any given Sunday anyone can win.

Anyway you look at it - whether it's Super Bowl Champs vs. World Series winners, or playoff teams, or the spread amongst teams' regular season records, there is very little parity in the the NFL compared to the MLB.

Anyhow, I always look forward to the Super Bowl. Means Spring Training is right around the corner :)

Several local baseball groups are having their annual fundraisers in the next few weeks and it is a great opportunity for Albertans to support their home baseball organizations while having a chance to meet some MLB stars and win some great prizes.

I almost posted this on my rant’s blog. But I’ve already
posted there about people’s stupidity. More. Than. Once. And this is baseball related anyways, so
thought I’d just write about it here.

Max Scherzer just signed a 7 year / $210 Million deal with
the Washington Nationals. Congratulations to him, the organization and Mr.
Boras on this signing. Right away I saw people on twitter and message boards
talk about how $30 M per year was way more than Lester and he’s probably not
worth that much more etc. A while later, started seeing posts saying since the
money is deferred (he’s getting $15 Million per year over 14 years), the NPV of the
contract is actually less than the 6/$144 he turned down from the Tigers last
year, or Lester's money. And he’s signed for 7 years, not 6 so it’s actually more of
a bargain.
